But there is nothing more important than to be called ``dad.'' It is the most important title that I have. I have had the opportunity to invest in many things that are valuable to me, whether it be my home, buying a car every now and then, or other things. But as my father would always say, my assets sit around the table, and they are the most important, most valuable things that we have. We have many jobs. I have had many jobs in my life during my 20-year career in business, and I have an important job here serving the people in the Second District of Minnesota. But there is no more important job that I have, no more important job that any father has, than in being a father to their children.
